The directors of the Indianapolis club held
long business session last evening at which
financial affairs and the standing of the players
were thoroughly canvassed. Some of the stock

counts for season tickets sold still unadjusted.
Measures were taken to have these matters set

of resources, the full amount of
which it is expected will be realized the club

Eastern games is in fair financial condition.

Speculation About New Leagues.

Philade phia Times
While Spalding is busy looking after what he
considers his own interests there are others just
as busy in other directions President Soden
of Boston, is said to be working out plan for
the organization of Eastern league, to in
clude Boston, Brooklyn. Baltimore, New York,
the Metropolitan. Athletic, Philadelphia and
Washington clubs Soden re ceved some encour
aeement last when he suggested his
scheme, and he claims that he will succeed in
having all the Eastern clubs under one head in
1888. Byrne. of Brooklyn, is not averse to the
scheme. and it is possible that Erastus Winan
has been won over to it. The Philadelphia Club
officials were not opposed to the scheme year
ago, and it is possible that they may aid in it's
organization. Washington is said TO favor IL.
while the Athletics and Baltimores say they will
do what seems for their best interests. The or
ganization of an Eastern league is not pleasing
to SDalding and the other Western clubs. While
it would not be impossible for them to form
Western league. it could not be placed upon
such good footing exclusive Eastern
league. The jumps in the West greater than
in the East, and if the rivalry that now exists
between the two sections is taken away it is
feared that very few of the Western clubs would
be self sustaining.
